Ramblings from a Newbie

Well, I was lured in. I love seeing so many home-making moms and families, and the things you all make are amazing. I'm looking forward to learning a lot and hopefully networking with some people in my area. I just moved to a small town in Tennessee about 6 months ago, back to where my husband's family is and where he grew up. I love the mountains and simpler life, and since we weren't able to buy a country house, I can't wait to find some friends further out. We found the next best thing though...an old house close to our small down-town, with a big back lot and room for the dog/cat and a garden. The house is so awesome...built in 1900 with a full basement, (never had one of those before) oak doors and trim, hardwood and pine floors, etc... Enough to keep us busy the rest of our lives! Florida has been my home all my life, up til now. I grew up raising goats, chickens, geese, rabbits and a myriad of other livestock. We went through the 4-H program, and I was homeschooled from 2nd grade on...my brother all the way through. We made cheese, grew sprouts, ordered from a co-op, and used only whole wheat. Sad to say I've gotten away from a lot of that, but am slowly trying to find a way back and balance everything. I've been married almost 2 years, and we don't have any children yet. I'm hoping to take advantage of this time to get some things done on the house and start a garden, and pray that we'll have wisdom for future decisions. Anyway, I'm really excited about all this. I'm sure I'll be asking questions here shortly. I went from Zone 9 to Zone 6, and I need some help figuring things out. We also plan on getting a few chicks at the beginning of April, and maybe some rabbits later on. So good things coming!
